Also, Swift is business savvy, handling her own business affairs from a young age. Her mistake not owning the masters of her first six albums has been/is being rectified.

Harding Road… Brings back memories of mid-70s summers in Nashville.

It's an impressive story! I watched the Rick Beato short vid about how she took back her work, re-recording older songs. I like the new ones better - her voice has matured; she sings more fully and with authority.

I don't think I'll ever be a true swifty, but I really admire what she's done.

I have mixed feelings. Having grown up in Nashville, maybe I understand the industry too well. The labels spend a lot of money on artists that never pan out and when a label does catch lighting, the revenue they get from that star is making the label whole for a lot of swings and misses. And then there's the whole matter of the labels putting up the initial money for studio time, touring, promotion, artist advances, etc. etc. I liken it a lot to personal injury attorneys who work on a contingency fee. It seems egregious when a lawyer gets 30-percent of a massive settlement, but that is subsidizing all the cases where the lawyer does the work and fronts all the costs but the case results in little or no judgment/settlement.
